Coldwell Banker listing agent Mike Franz calls the home at 2469 Grandin Road “the house with the courtyard” because that’s what draws the eye upon first look at the property. The Hyde Park home has just been listed for $1,675,000.

“People always wonder what’s behind those walls,” Franz said. To take a look, click on the images above.

The four-bedroom residence with four full bathrooms and one half bathroom was built in 1919 by prominent architect Charles W. Short, who designed a number of notable Greater Cincinnati homes following his studies in England.

“If you look at the overall style of the house, it’s reminiscent of an enlarged cottage from the English Cotswolds,” Franz said. “The style of the doors, hardware, archways, beamed ceilings in the dining room and study, and layout of the house are all in keeping with that style.”

A rare first-floor master bedroom is one of the home’s major features along with its French doors in nearly every room that lead to the courtyard and expansive rear deck. The home also features four working fireplaces along with a custom kitchen and family room added by the current owners.

“I’ve known the current owners for 10-plus years and have seen what it looked like before they bought it to what it looks like now,” Franz said. “It’s an incredible house that blends old and new seamlessly. The flow of the house is perfect for entertaining and lends itself to being laid out in various ways to suit how the owner wants to use it.”

Hardwood floors span the home along with the original restored marble floor in the formal living room. Other original features include built-in storage and unpainted beamed ceilings along with restored leaded glass windows on the first floor.

Franz also said the home’s location makes it unique as it’s within walking distance of Hyde Park Square, O’Bryonville, Cincinnati Country Club and Summit Country Day and a short drive from downtown Cincinnati.
